Your LaCie NAS features a printer server. Follow the directions below to connect your printer to the network via
the LaCie NAS:
1.
In Dashboard > External ports, confirm that the box next to Activate the printer server is checked.
2.
Power on the printer and connect it to a USB expansion port on the rear of your LaCie NAS.
3.
Once connected, the printer will be listed and available throughout your network.
Please note that computer(s) on your network may require specific drivers to use the printer. See the user
manual for your printer for details.
Important info: For multi-function printers, only the print feature is supported. If your printer has a scan
feature, for example, it will not work when connected to the LaCie NAS.
In addition, only PostScript printers are supported. If your printer does not display on Dashboard >
External Ports, it is likely that the printer does not support PostScript printing. This is frequently the case
with multi-function and photo printers. LaCie cannot guarantee that your printer supports the proper
protocols to make it a networked printer.
EXTERNAL DRIVES
Connect
Connect an external hard drive to the LaCie NAS via either USB or eSATA, and it will be listed on this page. Once
connected, an external hard drive acts as a share on your LaCie NAS. It will be listed at Dashboard > Shares
and can be accessed using your operating system's file system (Explorer Window for Windows users, and Finder
for Mac users). Please note that connected external hard drives are public shares on the network and their
names cannot be changed.
